LoL is addicting & sucks your soul out; Roblox does this while making child labor on their platform on how the games are built & monetized inside their platform. It is pretty gross.

I am happy Arcane is good tho. Knowing the characters makes it a more fun & engaging. They built some good art & lore.

When I left for Linux I had to give up League of Legends. I sucked it up, & after a month, I was fine without it & it was better since I knew it wouldn’t be worth the effort even trying to install it on Linux.

Monospace support for abugidas & abjads is pretty horrible

All this needs is the political compass overlaid & this is perfect TBH

Everyone I met has heard of Jitsi—guess I should feel blessed about my circle. But that doesn’t mean we should not let these places know there are opportunities to keep that voice data on-premise (which also indirectly helps the privacy of employees). I have chosen jobs for things like this though.

Similarly I learned to properly type (which means using your pinkies) with Dvorak back in 2007. I stuck with it since anything is a gain beyond QWERTY & _ on the home row helps with programming & config.

If you haven’t learned to touch type, you may as well use a layout that is gonna strain you less in the long run.

Very much. Especially if paying means not a subscription & it was never ad-support + inundated with malicious trackers. Too often the proprietary tools I am required to use are clearly tracking me & are by companies with horrible reputations, but this doesn’t have to always be the case.

LinkedIn is one of the platforms I felt I could reasonably delete since I got little to know value out of it (rather it was more of a drain)—& I didn’t have something like family connections to worry about.

Might be true, but is some real bullshit. There are protocols/programs that do work on multiple platform (including not web) with privacy settings turned up. Employers should consider if they want Google listening in on all of their business discussions before forcing its buggy platform on employees. I’ll wait for the one that cries that it has Google Calendar integration, when you don’t need Google for a calendar.

While you are setting up that server for Jitsi, realize its XMPP server can cover your text chat & presence needs too.

I am pretty sure no one at Google tests outside Blink & only gets around to it when there are bug reports
